Des câlins

Le mexicain est-il plus amoureux que le Français ? Je ne sais pas.

Mais je constate que si on s’arrête un instant sur une avenue de Mexico et l'on dresse un panorama à 360° il est probable que l'on détecte ici et là des couples en train de se bécoter ou en train de se faire des câlins, tendrement enlacés.
Ils profitent des bancs publics, mais sont aussi debout, au milieu du trottoirs, contre les murs, dans les voitures. Le paradis pour les amoureux me semble être les parcs et jardins, nombreux dans la ville, où il est difficile de trouver un banc libre (souvent sous des petits toits forts utiles lors de la saison humide).
On ne verra pas que des jeunes, et les couples homosexuels - qui ont dans le Distrito Federal les mêmes droits (mariage, adoption, ...) - ne dissimulent pas leurs élans de tendresse.

Admire the Apple iPhone camera distorsion :)

El pendulo bookstore and piano bar.

El pendulo are very nice bookstores, there is one in the Zona Rosa, in the Hamburgo street (126).

Fortunately there is a very nice bar upstairs the Bukowski's bar with an area where you can sit without being bothered by anyone (and not forced to drink anything) as well as a terrace.
You can listen to (cool) jazz music in the evening.

Autoportrait with hat and Mary.

I was taking pictures of this little altar by night near a taxi station in Dakota street when after a few shots I noticed my own shadow. I decided to include it in the picture, trying to get a "Sandeman" Porto like shape.


Colonia Roma

In colonia Roma, there are some statues, reproductions of Italian statues, themselves copies of Greek art (eg. Polykleitos).




A red van.

A van, but a Mexican van.
